Abstract
The exclusive photoproduction of states were calculated in ultra-peripheral collisions for coherent and incoherent process in PbPb at = 5.5 TeV. Different dipole models were compared in the theoretical framework of light-cone color dipole formalism. Moreover, it was calculated the differential cross section for the Upsilon states and their total cross section for two intervals of rapidity: 4 and y . A systematic study is done on the theoretical uncertainties associated to the production and predictions are presented for the first time for the incoherent cross section of the radially excited states.
